Duke Sex Toy Study Panned by Priest

University Religious Leader Says Study on Female Sexual Attitudes Doesn't Promote Relationships

(AP)  A campus religious leader is unhappy about a study at Duke University that invites female students to attend parties where they can buy sex toys.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Friday that the director of the Duke Catholic Center has lodged a complaint with researchers. The Rev. Joe Vetter says the study doesn't promote relationships.

The study asks female students over age 18 to attend the events that are similar to Tupperware parties but with erotic toys, lingerie and games. The women complete surveys about their sexual attitudes before and after the parties and get product discounts.

A spokesman for Duke said the sex-toy party project went through the peer review process. Vetter says he plans to discuss the topic at Sunday mass.

Why the priest has to worry about sex, because he is been deprived from sex, a sexually suppressed society remain sex always.

When you complain about all the other preachers giving their opinions on politics on the Sunday morning news shows, then you can complain about this preacher stating his opinion on sex toy parties.

[SusanStoHelit]

Wow. Really? It's news that a priest doesn't like sex toys?

[thesevenveils]

They don't make sex toys for little boys.

Where was he when his fellow priests were having "Sex Boy Parties"?

I guess those were studies that promoted relationships between pedophile priests and alter-boys...

[missme4]

The study is to see if alter boys will prefer sex toys to priests.

As usual, another member of the religious reich wants to impose his own sick beliefs on everyone else, whethere they want them or not.

I say kick the SOB's butt to the Vatican and invite him to stay there.

Reverend Joe: Take the sex toy out of your rectum before you make comments like that.

[AttentionDeficit]

Wait until he finds they are combining sex toys with Sawz-alls

[johndevinejr]

Who cares

[mysteryroche]

Wow! I have finally found the woman of my dreams. What are you doing tonight?

[anihiel1]

These parties are female empowerment! The church and the good ole boy political network wants to keep women at home and out of the work force. So they push male-female-only marriages and procreation. Women fall victim willingly to that thinking becuase they are flat-out lazy and see babies as a way to get a free ride from a man. We as women deserve, and should be expected to, pull our own weight in society. Who needs a man when a 'toy' is so much better at it and wont get me pregnant or expect me to cook it dinner? Forget relationships, have sex with whoever or whatever makes you happy, and focus instead on your contribution to society through your career and your intellect.

No one even stops to consider the effect of all these unwanted extra children on society, on the food supply and available living area, and on our planetary resources. The male quest for power and domination will kill us all.

[legionofwolves]

Women do trap men with babies, and they do leach money off of men, and you do deserve to pull your own weight in society. However, its a little bit hypocritical to call men 'pigs' for sleeping with multiple women, and then advocate that women do it as well.
"The male quest for power and domination will kill us all."
Come-on, do you know what drives men? Sex, and money. What is intimately intertwined in both, Women. And you will own as much the destruction of Humankind as we do.
